Baseball Fundamentals By Baseball Fundamentals By LESLIE MANN National Director United States Amateur Baseball Association Foreword Substantial progress has been made since launching the United States Amateur Base Ball Association, February 1. 1931. The ob­ jects of the association are to create and maintain a permanent organization repre­ sentative of amateur base ball and of organi­ zations devoted thereto in the United for the purpose of assuring continued intei in amateur base hall, to encourage the stand­ ardization of rules on amateur base hall, and to establish and maintain the highest ideals of amateur base hall. Membership is divided into two clast Active, for home talent intcrtown or city amateur leagues: (2) Allied, for individuals, institutions, and organisations which are national in scope and actively interested in the promotion of amateur base hall. Other organizations or individuals may he admitted provided there is no organization already a member of the association through which they may be represented. The United 8ta1 iation is an allied member of the Amateur Athletic Union, is affiliated with the Municipal Base Hall Asso­ ciation, and is a member of the Amateur Base Ball CongW.

Nydicka and Howard J. Weissb aVillanova University, Villanova, PA, USA bTemple University Abstract. Twenty-eight years ago Golden and Wasil (1987) presented the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for ranking outstanding sports records. Since then much has changed with respect to sports and sports records, the application and theory of the AHP, and the availability of the internet for accessing data. In this paper we revisit the ranking of outstanding sports records and build on past work, focusing on a comprehensive set of records from the four major American professional sports. We interviewed and corresponded with two sports experts and applied an AHP-based approach that features both the traditional pairwise comparison and the AHP rating method to elicit the necessary judgments from these experts. The most outstanding sports records are presented, discussed and compared to Golden and Wasil’s results from a quarter century earlier.

  • Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 Fair Ball! Why Adjustments Are Needed King Arthur’s quest for it in the Middle Ages became a large part of his legend. Monty Python and Indiana Jones launched their searches in popular 1974 and 1989 movies. The mythic quest for the Holy Grail, the name given in Western tradition to the chal- ice used by Jesus Christ at his Passover meal the night before his death, is now often a metaphor for a quintessential search. In the illustrious history of baseball, the “holy grail” is a ranking of each player’s overall value on the baseball diamond. Because player skills are multifaceted, it is not clear that such a ranking is possible. In comparing two players, you see that one hits home runs much better, whereas the other gets on base more often, is faster on the base paths, and is a better fielder. So which player should rank higher? In Baseball’s All-Time Best Hitters, I identified which players were best at getting a hit in a given at-bat, calling them the best hitters. Many reviewers either disapproved of or failed to note my definition of “best hitter.” Although frequently used in base- ball writings, the terms “good hitter” or best hitter are rarely defined. In a July 1997 Sports Illustrated article, Tom Verducci called Tony Gwynn “the best hitter since Ted Williams” while considering only batting average.

  • An Offensive Earned-Run Average for Baseball
    OPERATIONS RESEARCH, Vol. 25, No. 5, September-October 1077 An Offensive Earned-Run Average for Baseball THOMAS M. COVER Stanfortl University, Stanford, Californiu CARROLL W. KEILERS Probe fiystenzs, Sunnyvale, California (Received October 1976; accepted March 1977) This paper studies a baseball statistic that plays the role of an offen- sive earned-run average (OERA). The OERA of an individual is simply the number of earned runs per game that he would score if he batted in all nine positions in the line-up. Evaluation can be performed by hand by scoring the sequence of times at bat of a given batter. This statistic has the obvious natural interpretation and tends to evaluate strictly personal rather than team achievement. Some theoretical properties of this statistic are developed, and we give our answer to the question, "Who is the greatest hitter in baseball his- tory?" UPPOSE THAT we are following the history of a certain batter and want some index of his offensive effectiveness. We could, for example, keep track of a running average of the proportion of times he hit safely. This, of course, is the batting average. A more refined estimate ~vouldb e a running average of the total number of bases pcr official time at bat (the slugging average). We might then notice that both averages omit mention of ~valks.P erhaps what is needed is a spectrum of the running average of walks, singles, doublcs, triples, and homcruns per official time at bat. But how are we to convert this six-dimensional variable into a direct comparison of batters? Let us consider another statistic.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Using Mathematics and Statistics to Analyze Who Are the Great Sluggers in Baseball
    ICOTS-7, 2006: Taylor and Krevisky USING MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS TO ANALYZE WHO ARE THE GREAT SLUGGERS IN BASEBALL Randy Taylor Las Positas College, United States Steve Krevisky Middlesex Community College, United States [email protected] In this presentation, we share the results of statistical work that we have done over several years, in order to determine who are the best sluggers in the game of baseball in the US. Using z scores, we examined yearly home run and slugging average figures, so as to analyze which batters were the most SD’s above the mean. We used cutoffs of 200 at bats or 250 plate appearances before expansion, and increased this by about 5%, to account for the increased number of games played after the expansion in the early 1960s. Since real data are involved, we feel that this would be a very good application for students in a basic statistics class, and we will present various charts in the following discussion, and summarize our findings. This is a shortened version of what we have presented at numerous conferences in the US. Please let us know if you wish to see the full version of our paper! INDIVIDUAL YEAR HOME RUN RESULTS Gathering the statistics was much more time consuming than imagined. Data was obtained for all years 1920-2003 from The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball 2004 by David S. Neft, Richard M. Cohen, and Michael L. Neft. This book contained all the information required, but the print was very small. It also used numbers to indicate players who were traded, which was important in counting players totals in both leagues if they played in both leagues.

  • Triple Plays Analysis
    A Second Look At The Triple Plays By Chuck Rosciam This analysis updates my original paper published on SABR.org and Retrosheet.org and my Triple Plays sub-website at SABR. The origin of the extensive triple play database1 from which this analysis stems is the SABR Triple Play Project co-chaired by myself and Frank Hamilton with the assistance of dozens of SABR researchers2. Using the original triple play database and updating/validating each play, I used event files and box scores from Retrosheet3 to build a current database containing all of the recorded plays in which three outs were made (1876-2019). In this updated data set 719 triple plays (TP) were identified. [See complete list/table elsewhere on Retrosheet.org under FEATURES and then under NOTEWORTHY EVENTS]. The 719 triple plays covered one-hundred-forty-four seasons. 1890 was the Year of the Triple Play that saw nineteen of them turned. There were none in 1961 and in 1974. On average the number of TP’s is 4.9 per year. The number of TP’s each year were: Total Triple Plays Each Year (all Leagues) Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's Ye a r T P's <1876 1900 1 1925 7 1950 5 1975 1 2000 5 1876 3 1901 8 1926 9 1951 4 1976 3 2001 2 1877 3 1902 6 1927 9 1952 3 1977 6 2002 6 1878 2 1903 7 1928 2 1953 5 1978 6 2003 2 1879 2 1904 1 1929 11 1954 5 1979 11 2004 3 1880 4 1905 8 1930 7 1955 7 1980 5 2005 1 1881 3 1906 4 1931 8 1956 2 1981 5 2006 5 1882 10 1907 3 1932 3 1957 4 1982 4 2007 4 1883 2 1908 7 1933 2 1958 4 1983 5 2008 2 1884 10 1909 4 1934 5 1959 2

  • Creating Tables in Word 2007
    Creating Tables in Word 2007 A table is an arrangement of data (words and/or numbers) in rows and columns. Using tables to organize information makes the data much easier to read and interpret. It also presents an eye-appealing document. How quickly can you find the number of votes for Ernie Banks in the following paragraph: The following players received many votes: Johnny Bench 1,010,403; Yogi Berra 704,208; Nolan Ryan, 992,040; Sandy Koufax 970,434; Lou Gehrig 1,207,992; Mark McGwire 517,181; Jackie Robinson, 788,116; Rogers Hornsby, 630,761; Cal Ripken Jr., 669,033; Ernie Banks 598,168; Mike Schmidt 855,654; Brooks Robinson 761,700; Babe Ruth 1,158,044; Hank Aaron 1,156,782; Ted Williams 1,125,583; Willie Mays 1,115,896; Joe DiMaggio 1,054,423; and Mickey Mantle 988,168. Now find the same information in the following table. It’s much easier when data is organized into rows and columns!
